Reincarnated In A Shitty Love Game-Chapter 153
153 Chapter 153 – Unfair treatment
The carriage ride as particularly awkward after that conversation. Elle looked glum.
Feng gave her a bit of time to process her thoughts and her feelings. Because yubiri and herself did not have a future in this world or in another. He reminded her so much of her step brother to thy point that it was creepy.
He was sweet, she had to admit that, but being just sweet could not win her heart over.
Her eye fell on the two boys sitting in front of her. They had an age gap of five years but she had a nagging suspicion that Elle had seen her future with one of them. ‘Should I try to change it? is it even a good thing?’
She anxiously fiddled with her fingertip. ‘Do I want to change it?’ as if now she had no such romantic notion of either Ethan or Aiden but it could change I the future. She felt that the whole situation was complicated.
‘Knowing one’s future is also complicated indeed. Wonder how Elle deals with it. is it because of that she is so mature for her age?’ she reached out and held Elle’s small hand. Even without a word, she comforted her. ‘It will all be alright. Whatever the future may hold for us... it’s okay to dive into it blindly.’
Elle peered up at her. “Im sorry I lashed out at you Meimei,”
“I’m sorry too... for making you feel insecure. I knew I didn’t mean to but... I’m so sorry,”
“Meimei...” Elle jumped onto her hugging her tightly. “I don’t want us to ever become estranged. Even if I don’t end up with him, I don’t care. I just want you to be my closest sister.” She whispered with a soft smile.
.....
“Same here.” she gently pinched Elle’s cheeks. “it’s not the age to be thinking about boys. Let’s us concentrate on improving ourselves. As for the future, it will all fall in place.”
The carriage reached school slowly as many other carriages were packed in the rod. They got out at the gate. the multiple guards who were following them around all stopped there and bowed to them.
One of the guards came up front and held out two black pea size crystals. “Young lady please use these beads to contact us when you are stepping out of school. We will be there in an instant. Do not hesitate to call on us.”
Feng gladly took the crystal and let out a sigh of relief. “Will do. Be careful when you stay here. and.... Keep your eyes and ears open. I want to know what is going on in this city. Every single gossip and every single whisper. I want to know them all. Keep your identities hidden make sure that our family name is not revealed.”
The guards bowed, accepting her command.
Feng smiled and waved as they walked away.
To her side, both the twins and Elle were unusually silent. She glanced back at them. “What? Why are you guys so quiet?”
Elle stepped close and held her hand. “We don’t have to be so vigilant. Our families will take care of everything.”
“yes, they can, but we must not be a dead weight too. Elle, you saw what happened yesterday. That one man was able to shake every single one of my beliefs I don’t want to risk anything. If any of those guys make a move again, I want to know and be prepared for it in advance.” Feng tightened her hold on Elle’s hand. “we could prevent a lot of catastrophes.”
“hmmm...”
They entered the school. as per usual they split up and went to their respective classes.
Elle and Feng walked up to the same post. Just as Elle was about to sit on the cushioned chair Feng pulled her away softly.
The cushion did not look right. She poked her finger in them. water seeped out of it.
If they had sat on it then their backside would have gotten wet and with so many layers it would not have been felt by them. Everyone would have thought they peed their pants.
‘Such a childish trick.’ She glanced up at Clarina and her grass-haired friend.
They both were secretly whispering something and giggling looking their way.
‘I guess he is trying to humiliate us... tsk. Annoying,’
“Let’s find another seat.” She looked around. The class was almost full. The only seat free was by Clarina’s side.
She absolutely did not want to sit there because she might be able to control her anger and punch the girl mid-class.
As they were thinking of this dilemma their new teacher appeared. It was a well-dressed middle-aged woman. Her scrutinizing gaze raked through the entire class finally settling on Feng and Elle. “Looks like some ladies still haven’t learned their etiquettes well,”
“it’s just for today.” Elle whispered pulling Feng up to the empty seats.
They both checked on the cushions before sitting down.
Feng touched the table. It was slightly sticky. She had no clue what it was, but she did not wish to touch it anymore. Elle gave her a comforting smile and wiped down the table with her intricately woven kerchief.
The white cloth ended up brown and murky by the end of it and it also had a foul odor.
‘Fucking hell, his girl is going too far.’ Feng glanced at the two. Clarina and that green-haired girl were laughing stupidly. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
‘So, this is how it’s going to be. You’re going to bully me, huh?’ Feng took the stained kitchen from Elle and tossed it right when Clarina was laughing with her mouth slightly open.
The kerchief ended up right in her mouth.
The girl screamed loudly and shot up.
The kerchief flew down onto the ground. Elle hurriedly picked it up and hid it in her clothes.
“Young miss, what is wrong?” unlike her harsh words in the beginning the teacher kindly smiled at Clarina.
The white lotus et her tears shed down her face. “I... it’s nothing teacher.”
“What happened dear? You must have been hurt. You have to tell me,” the woman looked like a caring mother at Clarina.
Clarina looked their way with a smile and continued. “they... they... why....” She sobbed facing them.
Feng and Elle watched his notorious play without any expression.
The teacher glared their way. “What have you done to this poor child? How can you bully her like this?”
Feng raised a brow. ‘Clarain must have recruited this woman somehow. Probably with Killian’s influence and help...’ she sighed softly. The school was not going to be as fun as she had imagined.
“you two! Why won’t you stand up when an elder is talking to you! This is the prestigious school of magic, not your homes. Here your ranks don’t matter and so don’t your families. So stand up!”
Elle and Feng stood up blankly, peering at her.
“How can I punish you for doing this heinous act?” the woman screamed hugging clarain to her bosom. “Bring me the rod!”
Feng raised a brow. “Now wait a minute. What proof do you have that we have bullied her?”
“don’t talk back to me!”
“I’m not talking back but I’m fighting my case. You unfairly wanted to punish me for a mistake I didn’t do so isn’t it natural that I defend myself? I’m a child, not an idiot.” Feng chuckled peering at clarain.
The girl held a small victorious smile on her face.
‘Let the games begin bitch.’ She thought with gritted teeth. As if now, they couldn’t fight back openly because hitting a teacher can easily get them expelled. plus, that teacher was totally siding with Clarina she might make up lies and exaggerate things if they argue too much. Even if she dished out all the proof that it was not her fault the teacher would Blame her, regardless.
‘I won’t let you win.’ Feng glanced at the teacher. “I’ll accept it, not because I’m at fault but because I don’t want to delay the class for everyone else.”
The teacher brought the rod. It was a fucking bamboo stick that looked quite sturdy.
“Hold up your hands!” the teacher smiled evilly.
Feng silently did as she was asked to.
Without any reserve the lady hit her palm hard. the wood’s surface was slightly sharp making a thousand cuts in her palm.
‘Fucking hell!!’ Feng’s face paled instantly. ‘I can’t take ten beatings like this. she will break my bones!’ suddenly she thought of an idea
Feng pretended to fall back and faint
“Meimei!!!!” Elle shouted and rushed to her side.
Feng subtly held her hand and squeezed it in intervals signaling for her not to worry.
Elle understood he intentions instantly. “You! You were supposed to be our teacher but you have bullied my sister! How could you! Do you know who she is? She is the lady of the Rofles family you lowly person. How dare you bully her like this!” Elle did her act perfectly.
Feng tiredly opened her eyes. “Elle.... It’s okay... I can take that punishment.”
“No! I won’t allow you to! Let’s call the principal ad see what he thinks of this unfairness!”
The teacher scoffed. “As if, you can meet the principal?”
Elle smirked widely. “Who said we couldn’t?”
